warwickhunt Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 The power splitting (2x200w into x2 4ohm loads) may not suit everyone but that is a cracking amp @ practice amp price! Pair this with something like a couple of Peavey 4ohm 2x10TX cabs and it makes a 'proper' gigging amp. Despite needing a service, if I were looking for a first proper amp I'd snap this up... probably because it was an amp/rig I ran many years ago. Good luck with the sale.
whynot Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Had one of these as well. Nice sounding chorus to IIRC. Good price.
steve-soar Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Always fancied one of these back in the day, Joe Hubbard (Gary Numan bassist) use to use one. Amazing price.
niceguyhomer Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm in the market for a back up amp - a couple of questions if you don't mind....what does " a little servicing" mean and will it be loud enough through 2x8ohm Aguilar 112s for small - medium sized gigs?

I ran one of these some years back and as with most Peavey stuff they always seem to punch above their weight and as I recall I had no worries driving a pair of 8ohm cabs prior to getting a pair of 4ohm TX cabs. Speaking strictly in terms of wattage you'd be looking at about 130w - 150w out of each side but your cabs will make the most of that and for small/medium sized venues you'd be fine. The good thing is you could easily add another 8ohm cab or two and you'd not stress the amp.

I have tested both sides of the amp using a Peavey 115 BW Cab 4ohm? Having been stored away for a while just thought whoever wants to use it on aregular basis could treat it to a once over (Switch cleaner etc etc) as a few pots & slides are a little crackly when moved. Nothing major - Will show working for any potential buyer! I have just placed it on Ebay but will withdraw the item if anyone wants it! Cheers Justin.
jhk Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Also used one of these for many happy years. With a case at that price ...................... bargain!!! good luck ............ someone will have a nice bit of kit!
